The central Texas town, where Bush owns 1,600 acres, is beginning to go back to normal, the Houston Chronicle reported Sunday. The president and his entourage are largely moving on, the newspaper reported.

Among others, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain have visited the Bush ranch.

"I think our town has gotten to experience things that few other towns in America ever get," said Marilyn Judy, a special education teacher and head of the Crawford Chamber of Commerce. "We have had the whole world at our doorstep."

Although Bush is expected to return to Crawford to vote in November, he and first lady Laura Bush are buying a home in Dallas. The couple is keeping the Crawford ranch, the newspaper reported.

"We will probably always have some tourists," Judy said. "I don't think we will become the hot spot vacation place you have to go visit."
